3 stage battery

No they don't.

There is only one add-on booster available for the eGo @ ~$50. That's not the '3 stage' eGo like knock-off that GotVapes sells.

i think quinn is talking about a TI chip in a mod to regulate the voltage or boost it to 5v

Billy i dont usually disagree with people who have been doing this for a long time
but i think you should proably tell the people at provape they have a big problem
with there provari,since it only take one 18650 3.7 v battery and puts out 6 volts
no matter what atty you put on it.I can tell you for sure because i have 2 of them.
I hook it up to a under load meter and it reads steady at 6v no matter what,do the same
thing with another mod and you will usually loose about .50 with the atomizer attached.

the provari is a PWM- Pulse width modulation- mod most attaching style readers like the one at cigtechs will not work. now if your talking an ohm meter from radio shack then it should be more accurate. the provari can be changed to other voltages yours might be set to 6.0

i have a new provari and it des not do what you are hinting at.

which is to say stays at 6 volts. you dont mention how your coming across the readings.

"I hook it up to a under load meter" could be anything but i know PWM's tend to be different when it comes to taking readings. i would contact provape directly with your concerns if i was you.

Im using a digital power chip with a 510 female and 510 male
so you can hook the battery up and have the atomizer on the
other end going thru the digital chip thats how you can see how
much power the atomizer draws.I picked it up at smokey treats
its a great tool to have and you can use it while vaping,great for
seeing how much power is really going to the atty.

Still not too sure why that would be important.As long as I am getting the goods ,I am a happy camper.Not a lot you can do about it if you aren't getting what was advertised or implied.

if it looks anything like this


then it will not be accurate on any PWM mod.

Its not like that one but same idea and proably same chip,im not measuring a joye
battery,because your right about the ocilation it will not measure unless duration
of pulse is long enough and it isnt.Im measuring a provari which doesent use that
type thats is where the chip comes in handy.Also the battery with the led display
that uses contant voltage.Lets put this one to bed.Thanks for everybodys input
now thats a way to jiggle everybodys mind.And you thought we were talking a little
electric cigarrete.
